The present study investigated the impact of false feedback about individual memory performance relative to a co-witness on susceptibility to misinformation. Pairs of participants ( = 130; 65 pairs) completed a visual memory test and received false feedback on their performance indicating that the memory ability of one participant in the pair was stronger relative to the other participant. The participants then viewed a crime video (either the same video or one slightly different to their partner) and discussed their memories for this video with their co-witness. Participants completed a semi-cued recall task and a recognition test about the video. False memory feedback indicating lower relative performance was associated with significant increases in sensitivity to misinformation. The results are discussed in reference to the potential contributions that co-witnesses' perceptions of both their partner's reliability and their own reliability have on event memory.
本研究调查了关于个体记忆表现相对于共同证人的虚假反馈对错误信息易感性的影响。参与者成对（n = 130；65对）完成了一项视觉记忆测试，并收到关于他们表现的虚假反馈，表明该对中的一名参与者的记忆能力相对于另一名参与者更强。然后，参与者观看了一段犯罪视频（要么是与他们的搭档相同的视频，要么是与他们的搭档稍有不同的视频），并与他们的共同证人讨论他们对该视频的记忆。参与者完成了一项半提示回忆任务和一项关于该视频的识别测试。表明相对表现较低的错误记忆反馈与对错误信息的敏感性显著增加有关。我们将参考共同证人对其搭档的可靠性和自身可靠性的认知对事件记忆的潜在影响来讨论这些结果。
